Subject: RE: BS: Swift Boats 2008 from the Top Down
It never ceases to amaze me how many True Blue voters keep insisting "their side" is against the war.
As Carol points out, both sides in Congress, including Barak Obama and Hilary Clinton, are pro-Iraq war. They voted for it, and they continue to play this devious and depraved "I support the troops" game to maintain their cover.
John Edwards was at least honest about his early support for the war, and owned up to it AND SAID HE WAS WRONG TO SUPPORT IT.
He didn't, unlike Clinton, try and weasel his way around it by blaming Bush.
Or like Obama, lie and completely misrepresent his voting record since coming to the Senate.
Kucinich was the only true anti-war candidate who opposed the war from it's inception. But ending the war will take a Congress full of John Edwards--willing to stop voting for it every time a vote comes up, under the lame ass excuse of "supporting the troops".
